Summary
Understanding the innovative strategies for synthesis, assembly, and modification of advanced nanomaterials with novel geomorphology, structure, and unembellished active sites which greatly benefit their performance in energy, environmental remediation, environmental catalysis, agricultural system and development of different kinds of nanostructured photocatalysts for several technological applications.
This special issue aims to publish the high-quality outstanding collection of original research, mini-review or extended review, case study, short communication, based on current research and developments on bionanomaterials, utilization in energy, environmental and agricultural applications along with their prospects. This will also help them to understand and address problems faced in the agricultural, energy and environmental sectors by utilization of bionanomaterials. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
• Nanomaterials with innovative geomorphology, structure, and exposed active sites
• Nanomaterials utilization for energy, environmental and agricultural sustainability
• Nanobiosensors for energy, environmental and agricultural fields
• Roles in the degradation of pollutants, wastewater treatment, disinfection, and wastes reutilization
• Mechanistic approaches for photocatalysis, catalytic reaction, renewable energy and environmental remediation
• Solar-assisted photocatalytic splitting of water and removal of pollutants
• Modelling of nanomaterials, simulation, CO2 capture, storage, and conversion
